According to the MIC, merging VTC with VOV is in line with the national plan on development and management of national journalism up to 2025. It is expected to create favourable conditions for both groups to develop strongly.
While being incorporated into VOV, one of the important tasks of VTC is to facilitiate the National Assembly (NA) television channel, providing information on NA operations, and creating a bridge between the NA and voters across the country.
Earlier, the VOV was assigned by the NA Standing Committee to be the governing body for implementing the TV channel of the NA. The channel officially started airing on January 6, 2015.
In January 2015, the PM gave the green light for the VOV–VTC merger as suggested by VOV. The merger is said to be a step toward preparing for VOV to operate as a multimedia group in the future.
VTC was the first digital television station in Vietnam and its use of digital terrestrial television since 2004 has been the basis for the government to approve a plan for digitising television nationwide. It produces and broadcasts 15 channels across multiple infrastructures including digital terrestrial television, cable television, satellite television, internet protocol television, and internet television.
